Asked for his message to Israeli and American leaders amid the latest standstill in hostage negotiations, the father of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander tells NewsNation’s Morning in America, “I wonder when President Trump will lose patience with the situation.”
“He gave a lot of credit to Prime Minister Netanyahu to restart this war. And to Prime Minister, the question still remains, the same one: How do you plan to get the last hostage out without ending this war and without committing to the second phase of this deal?” Alexander says.
